Brief Summary
|
3. Aims & objectives: To assess the significant extent of knowledge, attitude and practices of physicians and nurses towards monkeypox in a tertiary care hospital. 4. Justification for study : Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by monkeypox virus infection. The monkeypox virus belongs to the same virus family as the variola virus, which causes smallpox. The symptoms of monkeypox are similar to those of smallpox, but they are milder, and monkeypox is rarely fatal. Chickenpox is not related to monkeypox1. Human monkeypox is a zoonotic Orthopoxvirus that looks like smallpox. It is difficult to distinguish the disease from smallpox and varicella. Laboratory diagnostics are critical components of disease identification and surveillance, and new technologies are constantly being developed. Tests are required for a more accurate and timelier diagnosis.2 In 1970, a 9-month-old boy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo became the first known human case. Several outbreaks and sporadic cases have been reported in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo Brazzaville, Côte d’Ivoire, DR Congo, Gabon, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and South Sudan between 1970 and 2017. The first outbreak outside of Africa occurred in the United States in 2003, when 47 human cases were linked to close contact with infected prairie dogs imported from Ghana3. On July 14, India reported its first case of monkeypox in a man with a travel history from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Kerala—making it the first documented case in the Southeast Asian region. Over the past month, cases in India have continued to inch up. As of August 8, 2022, the country reported nine confirmed cases of monkeypox, five from Kerala, in the southwest of India, and four from Delhi. |
